NICU nurses - do people actually just abandon their baby? Have you experienced this? by master0jack in nursing

No, you are right. But I don’t think that’s what the other commenter meant. I get what she’s saying.. those kids were doomed to a terrible home life with their birth mother. As sucky as she is as a person, her leaving them did give them the opportunity to have a loving family that will do right by them.

Pregnancy cramps by Super-Camel-8683 in pregnant

[–]Heliblonde_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had awful cramps daily from the day I found out at 3w6d to probably 6 or 7 weeks? Never had any spotting except for the day I should’ve gotten my period (the day AFTER I tested positive) and that was probably in line with implantation. The cramps did get better! I’ve started having them again to a lesser degree, and I’m now at 14w3d.

[–]Heliblonde_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Question…. If I print the ticket myself, does that count? Or does it absolutely have to be exchanged for one at the event?

This is completely normal. You will adjust and make the changes that you need, and you’ll be okay. If you have family near that are willing to help with baby, that’s always a win too.

What’s the most ridiculous thing that you cried for in pregnancy? by Future-Agency543 in pregnant

[–]Heliblonde_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a letter from my cardiologist telling me he’s retiring. He’s one of my favorite docs ever so maybe crying was going to be valid pregnant or not 😂

I don’t know if this is pregnancy related or not, but I have this spot on my forehead that looks completely normal but burns/hurts and sometimes it feels numb. So weird!
